END OF YEAR REFLECTIONS
DEAR PARK FAMILY
Over the past nine years, we have worked together to reimagine what the church might look like for the next generation. It has been a wild ride and 2019 is already looking like a beautiful continuation of what God has been doing.
Through mentoring, prayer, teaching, discipleship, and missional community the Father continues to shape our collective work in San Antonio.
As we begin the mad-dash to the end of the year, we wanted to take a moment and let you know of a few things we are excited about for 2019, as well as giving information for the end of the year.
Christmas Eve @ The Historic Pearl Stables!
We will gather at 4:30 on December 24, 2018 for worship at the Historic Pearl Brewery. This new location, in the heart of the city, is the perfect place to celebrate the birth of our Savior!
Church Planting
We continue to support Brian and Bridgette Ralph as they are gathering to plant The Park Downtown. Looking forward to what God is going to do in 2019!
Divine Narrative @ The Impact Guild
In addition to continuing Veritas modules, we are launching a new curriculum in the Spring of 2019 in partnership with DMakerU Discipleship ministries. For 12 weeks we will walk through the scriptures, from Genesis to Revelation one evening a week at The Impact Guild. More information available in January.
Grace + Peace,
Scott Austin
END OF YEAR GIVING
We also wanted to provide you with some of the information connected to end of year giving. For the past nine years, The Park’s ministry has been 100% funded by our community. We are grateful to be stewards of God’s gifts to the church. It’s because of your prayers, your presence, and your faithful giving that we are able to not only fuel the vision of the Park but to also be generous in our giving to our missional partners.
Due to the seasonal nature of giving and some of our expenses, end of year gifts allow us to catch up in the current year as well as provide a strong foundation from which to launch into the new year.
Currently our annual giving is less than anticipated, therefore end of year giving is critical to the mission. Please consider an additional sacrificial year end gift.
You can make an end of year gift in the following ways:
Give securely online. This could be one time or recurring gift.
Sunday mornings: There are boxes located in the back of the auditorium.
Mail: Park Community Church, PO BOX 781669, SATX 78278
Stock account info: contact chris@theparksa.org and he will forward to you.
As always, thank you for your gifts to The Park Community Church. We look forward to a fantastic holiday season and a great 2019!
